As a rapid response nurse, you will provide high-quality care and support to clients with complex healthcare needs. You’ll have the opportunity to build strong relationships with one or a few clients in your local area. Your role will involve ensuring that each client receives person-centred care and helping them lead fulfilling and happy lives.

• Supporting clients with personal care, moving and handling, medication administration, activity planning, and community access.
• Providing clinical support, including tracheostomy, PEG, and ventilation management.
• Assisting with light household duties and preparing meals when required.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a rapid response nurse is the ability to make a tangible difference in clients’ lives. Our rapid response nurses help clients achieve their goals and lead fulfilling lives. The satisfaction of seeing clients happy is unparalleled.

As a rapid response nurse on our complex care team, you may work closely with nurses or other rapid response nurses in a small, collaborative team. Our rapid response nurses benefit from a fixed rota with a choice of days and opportunities for overtime.

Your initial training will be a five-day induction, offering you a chance to enhance and refresh your skills and meet other support workers, rapid response nurses and registered nurses. If a client’s needs require additional skills, such as tracheostomy care, airway management, or enteral feeding, we offer paid specialist training to enhance your skills further.

You’ll be thoroughly supported after your training, and we’ll offer you the chance to enrol in Level 2 to 5 Diplomas in Health and Social Care.
